Many spectacular discoveries of archaeological
significance have been made inthe Indian
subcontinent since the first appearance of
Raymond and Bridget Allchins’ book The Birth
of Indian Civilization, for long the most
authoritative and widely read text on its subject.
Advances in related fields, particularly in
geomorphology, palaeobotany and
palaeoclimatology, have also radically altered
our picture of the emergence of Indian
civilization. In The Rise of Civilization in India
and Pakistan the authors have completely
revised and rewritten their earlier work to
present an integrated and dynamic account of
the development of human culture in South
Asia.
Drawing primarily upon the archaeological
record, and supported by ethnographic,
linguistic and historical evidence, the authors
trace the origins and development of culture in
India and Pakistan from its earliest roots in
Palaeolithic times, through the rise and
disintegration of the great Indus Civilization to
the emergence of regional cultures, and the
arrival and spread of Indo-Aryan speaking
peoples. They conclude with the early Buddhist
period and the appearance of city states right
across Pakistan and North India, establishing
the pattern of subcontinental unity and regional
diversity that was to characterize the country
henceforward.
The authors have made every attempt to
incorporate the results of the most recent
research and their book is illustrated throughout
with photographs, maps and line diagrams.
Offering an original and stimulating perspective
on the archaeology of the subcontinent, The
Rise of Civilization in India and Pakistan will be
invaluable to students of South Asian culture
and early history. It will also appeal to anyone
interested in historical geography, world pre-
history and archaeology in general.
